All righty, so in lieu of, no pun intended, all pun intended, in lieu of another bad elimination game performance by James Harden, I decided to give you the hard and worst performances, the top five worst performances by James Harden, these are all playoff elimination games that I am giving you. At number five, it is game six, where he was back with the Rockets in 2017 against the Spurs. He finished that elimination game with 10 points, six assists and seven turnovers on two of 11 shooting. Obviously they lost that series.
Game seven, back when he was with the Brooklyn Nets back in 2021, 22 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, but he was two for 12 from three. And also had a lot of turnovers. I don't have them on here, but he did have a lot of turnovers. That game at number three, game five, the Rockets versus the Warriors back in 2015.
He wound up with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists on two of 11 shooting. And if I'm not mistaken, I want to say that was the year that they were number one or number two in the Western Conference, and that was a Western Conference Finals game. Does Chris Paul hurt that year? Doesn't matter.
No, he should have 50 points triple double. And if he would have took it early, it is what it is. But we know that he didn't show up in an elimination game. At number two, game seven, back when he was with the Philadelphia 76, and 2023 versus the Boston Celtics, this man had 9.6 rebounds and seven assists.
And these are all elimination game now. And number one, we just saw it is fresh on our minds. Game seven against the nuggets. This man had seven points, five rebounds and 13 assists.
What the hell is going on? I respect this, but this is disgusting. I respect it because I would have did something similar, but this is disgusting to point these out. It's like you would have did a game, Jalen hurts his worst football touchdowns or?
It's like, I would have hit it. That's what I say. I respect it, but this is disgusting. He would have done it.
Eagles worst touchdowns celebrations against Dallas. That's what I'm talking about. And this is the reason why at the beginning of the series, I told you, I don't trust in James. I don't give a damn what they did in the regular season.
I don't give a damn by no coach, by Tai Lu, by this, by that, whatever, whatever. James Harden, playoff James is a thing. And we know that you can't hold him accountable, or you should, but you can't, because when the game is on the line, he's not gonna show up. Yeah, and people, I think when we were halfway through the series, yeah, it was one of the things that I wanted to know.
I was like, I think I got a James Harden problem. I saw it. I saw him getting passive, but being scared to shoot. I'm like, oh man, there it is.
And that's what we got. I wonder what happens though. I don't understand it. I don't understand what happens.
He might legitimately have performance anxiety as some shiver. I don't know what the fuck you happen to me. It's a little, only time, only once a year after like, you gotta give him the pass, it was probably the KD Warriors year, because it's close to the game seven. He pushed into seven games.
It's just, CP was hurt. And then KD and Seth went absolutely ballistic at four quarters. And the Rockets missed like 33. So, but other than that, isn't it?
